A Dominican company that turns products into memories.
Discover our history, purpose, and the values that guide us.
From a market need to a national legacy.
Rijo Suplidora was born in 2017, after identifying a need among the business community of the municipality of Higüey, La Altagracia, who had to travel abroad to source merchandise for their tourism-related organizations. With the goal of meeting that need and merging the sale of semi-precious stone jewelry with a more complete offering of symbolic souvenirs of our country, this competitive proposal entered the market.
Today, Rijo Suplidora is the country's number-one wholesale supplier to gift shops, offering jewelry, costume jewelry, souvenirs, clothing, bags, hats, inflatables, and more — everything our clients need to offer an emblematic, memorable gift from our country.
We are the result of a great deal of professional preparation, mental and physical effort, and above all, time. Among the biggest challenges we've faced was becoming a supplier to hotel chains in the Dominican Republic, where today we hold the largest market share. We also had to be resilient through the COVID-19 pandemic: as part of the tourism sector, the hardest hit worldwide and slowest to recover, we restructured budgets, managed emergency funds, and, above all, encouraged and prepared our team to keep pursuing our vision. This is what took us from being an efficient company to being an effective one.
The Dominican Republic has received approximately 41,824,176 tourists, according to the Ministry of Tourism, from the year we opened through 2023 — and we're proud, as a national brand, to have played a part in the memorable gifts that have carried our country's spirit abroad.
Our commitment is to keep building a company recognized not only for what it sells, but for what it represents to an entire industry: a Dominican company that helps project our identity, culture, and essence to the world. Because when a visitor leaves our country carrying a small memento of our land, what may be a product to us can become a memory to them. That is the real reason we do what we do: turning products into memories, memories into stories, and stories into legacy.
Rijo Suplidora: a company born to fill a need, that found its true purpose in carrying a piece of the Dominican Republic out into the world.
